Traffic mishaps eclipsed shootings as the leading cause of police fatalities in the United States during 2017.

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund's year-end report shows 128 police officers died in the line of duty during 2017. Nine were women and 119 were men.

The 128 police fatalities last year is the second-lowest in four decades, according to NLEOMF stats. Only 2013 proved less deadly with 116 officer casualties.

2017's toll represents a 10 percent drop from the 143 cops killed during 2016. Perhaps 2017 was the calm following the prior year's storm of escalated violence aimed at police. 2016 was the deadliest year for law enforcement officers in five years. Gunfire was the main cause of death for police during 2016, and fatal ambush shootings climbed to a two-decade high in America.

But traffic was the biggest cop killer during 2017. Forty-seven officers died in traffic mishaps last year. "Thirty-three were automobile crashes involving a collision with another vehicle or fixed object, nine officers were struck while on the side of the road, and five officers were killed in motorcycle crashes," the NLEOMF report states.

That marks a 13 percent dip from the 54 police traffic fatalities in 2016.

Guns were the second-leading cause of death for cops in 2017. Most shooting fatalities were officers responding to domestic disputes and conducting traffic stops, according to the NLEOMF. The report shows 44 officers were fatally shot last year. That's a 33 percent drop from the 66 cops killed by gunfire in 2016.

The number of law enforcement officers shot and killed spiked up during 2016, and the death toll included 21 ambush murders. The mayhem coincided with increased Negro hostility toward cops and the growing radicalization of the Black Lives Matter movement. Black domestic terrorists committed two of the deadliest police ambush attacks in 2016 just 10 days apart in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

In 2017 eight officers were murdered in ambush strikes, according to the NLEOMF.

Various other causes claimed 37 officers during 2017. Sixteen died from job-related illnesses, seven from beatings, five drowned, four officers succumbed to ailments incurred during the 9-11 rescue and recovery, two officers died in a helicopter crash near Charlottesville on the day of the Unite the Right rally, two were killed in boating mishaps, and one officer was fatally stabbed.

Texas, with 14 police fatalities, was the most dangerous place to be a cop during 2017. New York and Florida each had nine police deaths, California saw seven, Georgia and North Carolina each had six police fatalities, and Louisiana and Oklahoma each had five.

Police killed 1,147 people in the United States during 2017, according to the anti-white and anti-cop Police Violence Report. More Whites are killed by police in America than any other race. Even the Leftists admit that's what the raw data shows, although they try to spin the figures for propaganda purposes. Non-whites commit a disproportionate amount of crimes in the U.S. But Leftists want you to believe that cops disproportionately target non-whites due to race rather than because non-whites are prone to criminal behavior. According to the Police Violence Report, 48 percent of the people killed by cops in 2017 were Whites, 27 percent were Blacks, 21 percent were Hispanics and 4 percent were "other."

Now the real question is how many people doctors and other so called health care workers kill?

I truly believe that hospice care murdered my grandmother, every time hospice came and exchanged my grandmothers oxygen tanks she got significantly worse, so what exactly were they filling those tanks with?

My other grandmother made claims about her health care assistance workers beating her and raping her, yet these things are generally never discussed in the media how ironic

According to the CDC "medical intervention" is the 3rd leading cause of death. So you can count in it being much higher.
